Antonio G. Zaballos is very fond of the telecom sector and the economics that characterize the stakeholders’ relationships. Prof. G. Zaballos sees the telecom sector as a key tool at Governments’ and Operators’ disposal to increase the productivity, competitiveness and customer satisfaction.

The telecom sector is under a continuous process of innovation and change from a financial, marketing, strategic, regulatory and efficiency point of view that is why it forces me to be up-to-date in really interesting and exciting topics.

The interest of Prof. G. Zaballos includes the effects of financial decision in the investment decision of the telecom operators, and the impact that telecommunications have in the Society as a whole.

His ideas and research in applied economics to Telecommunications have been considered by International Governments in countries like Poland, Bulgaria, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Latvia, Guatemala or Dominican Republic.
